Emmanuel Macron Inaugurated as France’s New President

On Sunday, Emmanuel Macron was sworn in as the new President of France. He beat his extreme far right opponent Le Pen. Not forgetting the one-third that voted for his opponent, he stated that French men and women who feel forgotten by this vast movement will need to be better protected. On Sunday Macron tried to inject optimism into the people of France, who feel so disillusioned by the establishment that in the first round of voting, nearly half of voters voted for parties that would politically blow up the nation. Ferrand, the secretary general of Macrons party, said Thursday that the party has not yet named all of its candidates because it is trying to leave the door open to candidates from the center-right political establishment who might want to switch allegiances before the filing deadline next Wednesday.
